10-Ring

Took my first shot at a bacon weave tonight and it came out great! Took some pics and thought that I would share.

I once shot some backyard trap with a SxS, I was able to consistently hit doubles with it.  Don't know how it would do in real competition but it was a lot of fun just playing around.

I see a lot of homophobia on TGO but you got to look at it like this:  The more diverse the gun community is the better off we are as a whole.  Who would you rather shoot next to at the range a safe homosexual with good gun handling skills or straight Bubba that's sweeping you constantly? 

If it were mine and I wanted to do what you are doing on the cheap...   I would keep my eye's open at Pull-A-Part.  Most of the time if you can find what you are looking for there it will already be junked, but every now and then you get lucky.  If you get lucky you will get a good used front and rear axle for about $200 out the door.  At the same time I would be looking for a good used 350-454, you will be able to find plenty of them laying around the junkyard, pick one up and either freshen it up and put it in the truck or stick it on a stand and do a complete tear down and rebuild on it as time and money allow. 

It sounds like the suspect forfietd any claim he had to self defense when he exited his home to shoot an unarmed man that was not on his property and not making any threatening gestures.

Great example of epic trolling!

"LOL" is the one that gets me.  Those have to be the 3 most over used letters ever.  And while I could see that the term "lol" has its place I see it used inappropriately more often than not.  I even see it here on TGO, though not as often as I do in the mainstream.  There is no need to place "lol" after the title of your thread if that thread was not even remotely funny, nor intended to be.  Checked out Craigslist lately?  More of the same, lol this and lol that, and not a damned funny thing in the whole post.  I'd be okay if I never saw the term again.

It's frustrating as a motorcyclist when you get cut off, it happens.  The insinuation that your phone call is more important than my life does get most motorcyclists blood flowing.  The smartest thing you can do is let it go.  This is a classic Zimmerman/Martin situation.  Both parties did things that they shouldn't have done which escalated the situation to the point that it did.  I would follow someone who had intentionally backed over a friend, I would not do it unarmed.

I'm probably the only person that I can think of who is within 10 years of my age that does not text.  I used to have the smart phone and texted regularly but I gave it up for an $80 a year TracFone that meets my needs.  I loathe the way that it has become acceptable and even fashionable to talk and write like a 2nd grade drop out.  For those that struggle with spelling use Mozilla Firefox, it has a built in spell checker and will suggest "correct" words.  Like Pat, I like to do my best and at least pretend like I'm one of those educated folks.

Also keep in mind that the Examiner is not a reliable source of information.  Anyone can sign up and write for them and there is no fact cecking.  So, take anything you read tere with a grain of salt.

We constantly talk about not getting involved in other people's problems and MYOB.  While generally these may be good ideas, zero tollerance is never a good idea.  I'm not sure that I would have done the same thing but I think what this fella did was the right thing.  Was he an officer of the law?  No.  Was he minding his own business?  No.  Did he get two young children and an unknown number of innocent drivers out of harms way?  Yes.  To my knowledge there is nothing illegal about blocking in a vehicle, and he did not physically detain her. 

I don't get it, I have nothing against Glocks, I own two and they rotate as my EDC guns.  I trust my life to them.  That said as far as shooters I don't care for the Glocks at all.  I get much more pleasure shooting 1911s, revolvers, and vintage .22 pistols. 

I'm sure some of you are checking your deer online.  This is the first year since the online check in that I have taken multiple deer at once.  (Unit L)  I couldn't figure out if I had to go through the process with each deer or just tag one?

I enjoyed our post. As a hunter, I feel that we have an obligation to bring new hunters into the fold.  I've brought in many but I try to be selective.  I like getting kids into hunting.  And I don't mind getting adults into hunting as well but I'm picky about who I take.  Processing your own deer gives you a sense of accomplishment and a better appreciation for th animal you took.  I can't say that if I knew of a really good processer and had lots of money that I would have my deer done, but I don't think it would fel right.  To me that would feel like I started a job but didn't finish it.  But, I think every hunter should know how to process their own deer.  I think if everyone who killed a deer had to proces it themselves we would have a lot less "Fudds" in the woods.

Very glad to hear that she was found safely.

  Now do a few sprints first and then try it!

This weekend was the first time I've been able to get out this year.  Between work and being 150+ miles from my good hunting spots I've been a little late.  Picked up a box of Remmington Scirocco 130g .270 because that was the only box Walmart had when I went shopping Thursday morning and I wasn't in the mood to shop around, more on that later.  Hit the woods Saturday morning and had 3 does before 7:30, Sunday I took a new hunter out and let her use my rifle, I didn't even carry one, she got her first 2 deer before 8:00 in the same spot, so it was a very productive weekend.    More on ammo, I knew that I was about to the end of my supply of my Winchester Silvertips, which are my favorite bullet so I wanted to pick up some more before I headed out of town.  Figured I'd give the Sciroccos a shot since that was my only choice.  If you are a trophy hunter by all means this is probably a great bullet for you.  My complaint is that it tears up meat bad!  On one of the does I took, I took a shot with the deer quartering slightly towards me.  I hit just behind the shoulder and the bullet about ruined an entire rear quarter.  On another deer the shot was in the same place quartering away and I took out the opposite side shoulder, same on the third.  My hunting buddy, using the same gun shot a little high on both of her deer and got them in the spine, ruining all tenderloins and most of the backstrap on both deer.  Of the 5 deer 3 flopped and the other 2 ran less than 20 yards.  I'm thinking I'm going to stick the remainder of this box in my inventory and pick up some more Silvertips, I'm in it for the meat!  The Silvertips or any other round that I have used have not torn up meat nearly this bad, most of the time none is even wasted.   I was gifted a Savage .223 bolt action Sunday morning, I'm anxious to get it sighted in and I'm going to try to take a deer with it this season.

I would have no problem suing somone who hit me while texting.  I refuse to do it myself.

I found a huge short cut in my processing this weekend.  We ditched the old grinder for a food processor, way, way quicker and you don't have to clean up the meat as much.

The area that I'm hunting has zero, I'll have to hike out drive 15 miles down the road, check it, then go hike it back out.  I don't think this will be a solo hunt, pretty sure I couldn't manage that by myself.

I was wondering the same.  And what happens if you just use the old "I sold that?"

Tuen them in my butt, the residents of NYC need to pick them up and revolt.

This is what I'm wondering...   Say I'm hunting some rough terrain and kill a good sized deer.  To the best of my knowledge it would be legal to check the deer with the app then quarter it out and pack it out.  Anyone see any reason this isn't legal?

OCC lost its appeal a good 10 years ago if it had any at all.  I wish they would just go away already and quit turning out their underpowered, heavy, poor handling, and uncomfortable junk.
